GSM digital mobile communication technology was first released in 1987, and the countries that initially established GSM networks were almost entirely in Europe. It wasn't until 1990 that networks based on the GSM standard officially entered the mainstream and gained widespread use.
Japan is still in the 1G communication era.
The emergence of the Xiaolingtong (a type of mobile phone service) at this time naturally gave it a strong competitive edge.
NTT has spared no effort in promoting PHS (Personal Handyphone System), mobilizing a large number of personnel and resources to quickly establish a presence in Tokyo and other cities in Japan.
The first person to try something new is the one who makes the most money.
Installing a PHS (Personal Handyphone System) base station is very simple, not much more difficult than installing a satellite dish.
In just half a month, the PHS phone service basically covered the entire Tokyo area.
Subsequently, NTT (Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company) officially launched its PHS (Personal Handyphone System) service.
On that day, countless Japanese people rushed to NTT and Wujiang's flagship store to buy "Wujiang Xiaolingtong-1".
At this time, wealthy Japanese were indeed rich, buying up assets all over the world. Mitsubishi Estate acquired Rockefeller Center, a U.S. National Historic Landmark, for $1.34 billion. Sony successfully purchased Columbia Pictures, a U.S. entertainment giant, for $3.4 billion. Nippon Life Insurance merged with Schessone Lehman Brothers. The Bank of Tokyo acquired United Bank.
Furthermore, Japanese companies also made substantial real estate investments in major U.S. cities such as Los Angeles, New York, and Hawaii. By the late 1980s, Japanese companies owned a staggering 10% of all real estate in the United States.
However, there are many more ordinary people in Japan.
Therefore, PHS (Personal Handyphone System) has a broad market in Japan.
On this day, the large number of people caused traffic paralysis in many places.
Traffic police in Tokyo are overwhelmed.
"Inoue Kawazuki, you did a great job! You successfully helped the company reach a cooperation agreement with Wujiang Communication Technology Company, which led to today's huge success!!!" Inoue Kawazuki's boss praised Inoue Kawazuki, who was standing next to him, as he looked at the NTT business hall packed with people.
Inoue Kawatsuki bowed slightly, smiled modestly, and said, "Wujiang Communication Technology Company originally wanted to bring PHS technology into the Japanese market. My negotiation on behalf of the company was just a matter of course and a natural outcome."
"But since you secured the patent license for the PHS (Personal Handyphone System) mobile phone for the company, the company has decided to reward you with 2 million yen as a bonus!"
"Thank you, company!"
At this time, other Japanese telecommunications operators also took action, quickly sending people to cooperate with Wujiang Communication Technology Co., Ltd., hoping to get a share of the market, and planning to deploy PHS base stations in other cities.
It's a land grab right now; whoever builds a PHS base station first will gain local users.
Wujiang Communication Technology welcomes all partners, since it's just selling equipment; how others compete is none of its business.
...
As the year draws to a close, following Japan, telecommunications companies in Southeast Asian countries have launched PHS (Personal Handyphone System) projects. Several major US telecommunications companies have also followed suit and partnered with Wujiang Communications Technology.
"My goodness, even telecommunications companies from Africa and South America are sending people to Wujiang Communications Technology Company to discuss cooperation, wanting to introduce Xiaolingtong technology. That's amazing!" said an elderly man in his fifties, who was reading the newspaper, with great excitement.
My colleague couldn't help but exclaim, "China Without Borders, that's absolutely awesome!!!"
"Wujiang has once again made a name for itself overseas. It truly deserves to be the brightest star in China's technology industry! When I get back, I'll tell my son that if he doesn't go to Wujiang Group after graduation, I'll beat that good-for-nothing to death!"
"Old Liu, calm down!"
"Calm down. He's interning at Wujiang right now. The leaders at Wujiang think highly of him and want him to start working there after graduation, with a full-time position and a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan. The kid is hesitating between accepting the government's guaranteed job placement and earning a couple hundred yuan a month, or going to Wujiang..." Old Liu said.
"..." My colleague looked stunned and stood there for a long time. I thought to myself, "Damn it... I was the clown. I tried to persuade him, but what was the point? That old geezer Lao Liu was showing off in front of me!"
...
It has to be said that the emergence of Xiaolingtong at this time was truly timely.
The era of 2G mobile communication was just beginning, which gave PHS (Personal Handyphone System) technology an opportunity to take advantage of the situation and it is now making rapid inroads across the globe.
Once a telecom company invests in PHS (Personal Handyphone System), they'll have to think twice before getting them to invest in GSM (Gateway Service).
Similarly, in the previous life, because the PHS (Personal Handyphone System) technology appeared too late, many countries had already invested in GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications). If they continued to invest in PHS, wouldn't their previous investments be wasted?
It's not hard to imagine that in this lifetime, Europe's attempt to promote GSM will not be so smooth.
December 5, 1988.
With shipments of "Wujiang Xiaolingtong-1" exceeding 5 million units, Wujiang Group became a mobile phone manufacturing giant on par with Motorola in less than six months.
Wujiang Group immediately announced the news to the public.
This news caused a sensation throughout the world...
